Full Time Photographer Podcast

A few months ago I was contacted by Josh Rossi and asked to be interviewed for his Full Time Photographer Podcast.  I was of course flattered that he would reach out to me and I told him I would play along if I could be of any help.  Last week we conducted the interview over Skype and I thought it went well.  Josh is a great guy and his Podcast is apparently gaining steam in downloads at iTunes.  The Podcast is geared towards beginning photographers who are in the early throws pursuing a career.  We mostly talked of assisting and hopefully something worth interest came out of my mouth.  Given an opportunity I can get a little long winded but luckily Josh was there to reign me end and keep me from hanging an abrupt left into tangent-land.  Here is a link to the podcast on his site as well as a link to iTunes if you prefer their interface.  Check out the rest of his series.  He’s been at it a while so there is bound to be a wealth of knowledge there.  Thanks Josh!

Promotional Material - MP 1-13

This has been in production for a while and they were finally set free yesterday.  The concept started gestating back in March.  The execution is nothing new to the photographic world - a small portfolio of images bound as a small book - but the aesthetic concept was, for me, the spark that initiated this project into fruition.  I do not like campy or novelty promos.  Not that they don't work but they are not me.

I wanted a larger canvas upon which to brand future promotional material.  I based it largely on Military and Government Manuals of the 50s and 60s.  Very Utilitarian (to a fault) but also an interesting tie in being DC based.  The one aspect that I miscalculated was how much time an endeavor like this entails.  After getting the measurements and layout together, it took me one day to print and crop all the prints.  Another day to score each page and the cover.  And another day to drill, bind and address each piece.  There are a few aspects that I will be changing for future construction but the end product is exactly what I wanted it to be.  Now hopefully people will just open it.
